As part of Macquarie Asset Management, you will work alongside talented investment professionals on complex, high-profile transactions, helping shape commercial outcomes while building a broad and evolving practice across structured finance, insurance and private credit.

Bringing your structured finance expertise to Macquarie Asset Management's Credit and Insurance business, you will partner closely with investment and business teams to structure, negotiate and execute sophisticated transactions that support efficient capital deployment for insurance investors. Acting as a trusted adviser, you will provide legal guidance across rated note structures, insurance-linked vehicles and reinsurance transactions, helping balance commercial objectives with effective risk management while enabling the business to pursue new opportunities. This role offers exposure to a broad range of financing and investment activities, with the opportunity to expand your expertise into private credit and other adjacent investment strategies as the platform continues to grow. Working with senior stakeholders across legal, investment and business functions, you will play an important role in delivering innovative solutions and supporting the long-term success of the business.
